Marners Free Agency Thoughts

[MetalToday 266]

Brendan Marner is one of the top free agents this offseason, and there are many great teams that will likely look to add a top end left winger to their team. Where would he go and where in the lineup might he go? There are a few questions, but we will soon have answers with the offseason starting, the draft will soon happen, and the free agents will soon be talking with teams. Brendan Marner might end up staying with his team in Warsaw, as they are one of the more competitive teams in the league, but he is in win now mode. No team has contacted Marner for comment on what he is looking to get into, but that should change once free agents start being picked up. There are not many other teams that are as competitive as Warsaw is right now, that is why Marner is still leaving his draft team open as a potential destination. Warsaw left the playoffs in the first round this past season, and missed it the season before, which is why Brendan Marner wants to try something new. He would love to come back to North America to play near his home, but his priority is the cup, and right now, Europe has some of the toughest teams in the league.

 

Brendan Marner may not be most teams first choice, looking into the top left wing free agents, there is a lot of top players, some younger, some older, that teams might turn to first. Although Brendan Marner is one of the top players in the league, he has a lot of competition for top spots, and considering his play style, not many teams may have the role to play him since his has such a unique style of playing. There is some belief Marner might have more interest and may move higher on the free agent list while some players may look to resign with their own teams, but looking at where we are in the season, this may not be the case. This is possible based on Helsinki not resigning 3 of their top players yet, could they be moving on, or has Helsinki’s GM waited longer than most to start contract talks? I don’t know, but one might assume they resign a player or 2, I mean they had a decent team, that was only improving. Nonetheless, Brendan Marner is going to have some options, but his options could be much smaller than he thinks, and quiet honestly, if most teams fill their roster fast, and Warsaw replaces him, this could mean huge disappointment for Marner, as his might need to settle with an average team, unlikely to win a cup. Overall, Brendan Marner is looking for a competitive team, who will likely make the finals, and needs a player like Brendan Marner to make a difference. One thing is for sure, if Brendan Marner signs in North America, it would be amazing to see a Marner versus Warsaw final!
